TO OUR READERS.

We cannot too strongly urge upon our
readers the necessity of subscribing for Q
family weekly newspaper Of the first
ciass-such, for instance, as The Indepen-
dSas, OF New York. Were we obliged to
select one publication for habitual and
careful reading to the exclusion of all
others, we should choose unhesitatingly
The Independent. 1t is newspaper,
magazine, and review, all in one. 1t Is q
religious, literary, an educational, story,
an art, scientific, an agricultural, d.
nanciaI, and political paper combined
II has SO folio pages and 81 departments.
No matter what PERSONS religion, poll
tics or profession may be, no matter what
the age, sex, employment or condition
may be. The Independent will prove a
help, an instructor, an educator. Our
readers can do no less than to send q
postal for a free specimen copy, or for
thirty cents the paper will be sent a
month, enabling one to judge of its
merits more critically. It's yearly sub.
scription Is SO, or two years for IS.
Those who desire to subscribe for The
american AgricaIturtst as well as The
Independent cannot make better bar
gain than by accepting The independently
offer to send both papers for one year fol
the sum Of 1915. Each subscriber will
thus save seventy five cents on the two
papers.

Sheriff Fees.
There has been some talk about what
the Sheriffs office is worth. There is an
erroneous idea prevailing as to the amount
received by the county officers, and the
receipts are greatly overestimated by O
majority of the outside public. The
Sheriff's Office is one 10 which fees form a
large part of the income, and much de-
ponds on the amount of business trans.
acted. A year of depression among the
people is better for the Sheriff than when
business is prosperous. There is mis-
taken idea among the people as to the per-
centage the Sheriff receives from sales,
some persons thinking it 10 per cent. AS
matter of fact, the Sheriff receives
per cent. for the first 81, 900, per cent.
between 81, 900 and So, 900 and ! per cent
on all sums over $4,000. For every levy
made he receives 81, service 81, advertis-
ing $500, copies for papers $3.50, ad-
journments 81 each week, crier's fee for
real estate 81, personal pr operty So, deeds
IS, report of sale 81. He receives So per
day for attending court, 81 for each case
noticed for trial, $40 for drawing the
grand and petit jurors, serving summons
SO IL and mileage. He also receives CON-
pensation for transferring prisoners to
Trenton and Jamesburg, for the posting
of bribery notices, and much other ser
vice of minor character. OF late years

The Pennsylvania coal barons have
